30  Write the definition of a user defined function Push35(N) which accepts a list of 3
integers in a parameter N and pushes all those integers which are divisible by 3 and
divisible by 5 from the list N into a list named Only35.
 Write a program in Python to input 10 integers into a list named NUM.
The program should then use the function Push35() to create the stack of the list Only35.
Thereafter pop each integer from the list Only35 and display the popped value. When the list
is empty, display the message “StackEmpty”.
For example:
If the integers input into the list NUM are:
[10,6,14,18,30,21,45,60, 65,90]
Then the stack Only35 should store
[30, 45, 60, 90]
And the output should be displayed as
30 45 60 90 StackEmpty
